Guidelines for Using SCSI Devices

B-2 Hard Drive Installation
When installing additional IDE drives, follow these guidelines:
For optimal performance, connect hard drives to the primary
controller. Connect expansion devices, such as IDE CD-ROM
drives, tape drives, and diskette drives, to the secondary controller.
Install either a third-height or a half-height drive into a half-height
bay.
Install guide screws to ensure that the drive lines up correctly in
the drive cage. Compaq has provided extra guide screws, which
are installed in the front of the workstation chassis behind the front
bezel. Some options use M3 metric hardware. Compaq-supplied
metric screws are black.
This section contains information relating to SCSI device guidelines
and installation.
When installing and operating SCSI devices, you must follow these
guidelines:
A single Ultra SCSI, Ultra-Wide SCSI, Wide Ultra2 SCSI, or
Wide-Ultra160 SCSI controller allows you to daisy-chain up to
15 additional SCSI devices. Including the controller, that equals
16 total SCSI devices.
If 2 SCSI controllers are present, each connected to separate
system board SCSI connector, each controller may have 7 SCSI
devices attached. This configuration yields a total of 16 SCSI
devices on the system.
